Question
Predict the products of the following reactions:
a)
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
a) The product of the reaction is,
1Ether cleavage reaction
In a ether cleavage reaction, the substitution pattern of the two groups attached to an oxygen atom is identified first. In the case of the tertiary alkyl group, the cleavage takes place by SN1 mechanism.
2The product of the reaction
a)
At first, the substitution pattern of the ether is noticed. On one side of the ether oxygen, is the primary alkyl group and on the other side is the tertiary alkyl group. When the one group is tertiary, the cleavage takes place by an SN1 or E1 route, and it forms either a tertiary halide, an alkene and a primary alcohol.
